On the TA neo-hippy scale of wild presumptions of conspiratorial evil (the Nou-Clovis Index), I'm sure he's somewhere near Buckley. |

| Please don't let this slip into a Republican vs Democrat debate. All other threads manage to do this, but please don't let that happen in here. |

Hey now, I have no conspiratorial views, that would require me to think conservatives care for anyone but themselves and could actually work together. Its only coincidence that they work together, because eventually they will be able to stab someone else in the back and get ahead of them! :D
No, I just think conservatives are bad people, unable to look beyond their own nose and think about advancing humanity, which is the ultimate goal. They have it right in some places, like fully exploiting the earths resources, but they do it in a manner that benefits no one but them and their immediate underlings suckling at their greedy teat. They look out only for their lifespan, and not for the length of humanity and our goal of propagating across the universe.
You will say "blah blah across the universe, insanity" but thats because you can not put your mind in place where you realize that your purpose is to be a cog in the human machine. Thats where conservatives fail, and thats why they are a detriment to humanity and a cancer on our lives.
This is why the Japanese will recover from this tragedy, and we should count our blessings, or whatever you believe (chance in my case) that it didn't happen here. |

Too bad there's not a word-triggered 'ignore' function so I could just block your political posts. Replace 'doctors' and 'them' in a w_ashme post with 'republicans' and 'conservatives' and it's the same exact thing.
Edit: police, judges, and lawyers, too |

C. I know it will spark another debate I have no intentions of seeing to its fruitless end, but I can't help but note that if you are somehow under the impression that Larry Kudlow is "an idiot," you know a lot less than you think. Unlike with musical production and DJing, the 'well, what have YOU done?' rebuttal does apply in economics.

yeah he is an idiot.
oppose taxes on gains? sure it sounds fine and dandy but how is a country suppose to function without taxes. I think lew's statement is fair here and clearly backed up with his practical experience with dealing with the markets.
I mean, its pretty sad if you get fired from bear sterns, a company that went under during recession. Wonder how they would have turned out if he was still at the helm :p |

Also , of course this is going to effect commodities.. crude prices would be driving higher on speculation towards 110 per bbl for the wti, but because of refinery shutdowns in japan you have a speculative retrace back to the 99-101 per bbl. japan is the second largest net importer of crude in the world. If they aren't taking it in for a while, that's going to curve down prices amidst mideast conflict.

net economic impact of the quake to japan should be minimal. |
